Ozone (O3) is a polar molecule due to the difference in electronegativity between oxygen and ozone. The electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44, while the electronegativity of ozone is 3.0. This difference in electronegativity results in a dipole moment, with the negative charge concentrated on the oxygen atoms and the positive charge concentrated on the ozone atom.
